Adding NFS

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Description

HCI supports adding NFS as the backup datastore of virtual machines. Virtual machines are backed up to NFS to ensure the data security of virtual machines.

Precautions

  1. NFS cannot be used as a datastore for virtual machines. It can only use for backup purposes.
  2. It is forbidden to use the Windows shared drive as an external datastore.
  3. Before adding NFS storage, you need to click Scan for New Disk and then click New.

Prerequisites

The storage network on the HCI host needs to be able to communicate with NFS storage normally.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Storage > Other Datastore, click New and click NFS.

  1. Configure the name of the NFS storage and the server IP, select the corresponding folder, select the node to be connected, and click OK.
